As long as the network people allow it, NFS is the best solution for a lot of things.

You can have terabytes of low cost non-mainframe storage mounted in USS for this kind of thing and you never have any space issues. I only learned about and experienced NFS on mainframe about 5 years ago, but now I use it all the time for all kinds of stuff. It's really useful. Did I mention I really like NFS on mainframe? 😊 Neil O'Connor (Australia) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
